Customs of "Shovavim" (Video, 3:19) - the weeks of Parshios Shemos through Mishpatim (during a leap year - as this year is - through Tetzaveh). Speaker: Rabbi Nasan Maimon.
Summary:
1) Slichos (found at the back of some siddurim) once a week before Shacharis (Breslov Meah Shaarim - Thursday mornings).
2) Some people fast once a week, for a day or half a day.
3) Some people refrain from eating animal products once a week (meat, fish, eggs, dairy).
4) Special care to say Tikkun HaKlali every day.
5) Renewed attention to mikveh and all mitzvos of Tikkun HaBris.
